I have a narcissist in my team. Beneath the pretty clothes, the charisma and the smile, lurks a cold heart. Everything is about her.
Narcissists have an inflated sense of self-importance and entitlement, crave attention and require endless praise. Narcissists are dangerous because they lack empathy and they don't play by the rules. They value control and power over love.
To manage a narcissist, I frame my requests in ways they can hear. Stating my emotional needs rarely works, nor does complaining or being assertive. Ego is the Achilles' heel of narcissists. They can be cajoled through flattery. Though such ego stroking is tedious, it does bring results.
